Use the "Goal Setting to the Now" approach.
from The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller, Jay Papasan
Using the Goal Setting to the Now approach will help you set a clear timeline for you to achieve your end goal (i.e., your Someday Goal). It’s similar to the domino effect: what you do right now will help you achieve what you want tomorrow; what you do tomorrow will help you achieve what you want next week; and so on, until you have achieved your Someday Goal.
